Dazzy Vance

1915 - 1935

197 - 140 record, 3.24 ERA

Vance led the league in ERA three times, wins twice, and established a National League by leading the league in strikeouts in seven consecutive years (1922 - 1928). His career marks are especially remarkable considering that he didn't become a full time major league player until the age of 31.

The Fremont franchise moved to Norfolk in 1914. The franchise flourished in Norfolk, a strong baseball town. Fremont never returned to the professional ranks as future iterations of the Nebraska State League did not include Fremont. Grand Island, Beatrice and Hastings fought for the title until the final games. Grand Island made a final surge and finished the season one game ahead of Beatrice.

Dazzy Vance began his career with the Superior Brickmakers in 1912. On September 2nd he pitched a five hitter in the first game of a double header as Superior defeated Columbus 4 to 1. He then pitched the first five innings of the second game getting the win 7 to 4. In 1914 he pitched for the Hastings team and led the Nebraska State League in strikeouts.
